Did Jesus celebrate Passover before He died? And what really happened to the people who rose from the dead at the Crucifixion?
In this Ask A Priest episode, Father Tim tackles two fascinating and often overlooked questions from Scripture. Drawing from Pope Benedict XVI and the Gospel of John, he explains how Jesus anticipated the Passover meal, and how His death perfectly aligns with the sacrifice of the Passover lamb.
He also dives into one of the most mysterious moments in the Bible: the dead rising when Jesus died. Did they return to their families or rise to eternal life with Him?
If you’ve ever had questions about these powerful moments in the Gospel, this episode brings clarity, depth, and wonder to the story of salvation.

Palm Sunday (Holy Week Retreat)
Ever feel like you have to prove your worth, or stand out just to matter?
In this Palm Sunday reflection, Father Tim connects our modern desire to be “unique” or successful, like a rare startup unicorn, with something deeper in the human heart: the desire to be seen, valued, and to belong.
But the Passion of Jesus reveals a different truth. Your worth isn’t something you have to create or earn. It’s already been given to you. Your value is the Cross. Your identity is found in Him.
You don’t have to invent your worth. Jesus already showed it. This Palm Sunday, don’t just hear the Passion, take it personally.

What Is The Trinity?
Have you ever looked at your past and wondered, “Could God still use someone like me?”
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim answers one of the most human questions of faith: what if my past is too messy for God? Looking at figures like David, Moses, Abraham, Peter, and Mary Magdalene, he reminds us that God has always worked through flawed people, not because of their sins, but because they had faith and let God be God.
Your past doesn’t scare Jesus. Your weakness doesn’t disqualify you. God only has flawed instruments to work with, and He can still use your life to build something holy.
You are not too far gone.
You are not too broken.
You are still called to be a saint.
